minimizing installation complications and excessive leakage. As with all split seal options, it offers easy installation and replacement without the need for teardowns.

The Chesterton 442C Cartridge Split Seal simplifies seal installation while also addressing sealing reliability at start-up. With only two seal components, the 442C is easy to install and is engineered to enhance sealing reliability like no other cartridge split seal.

The Chesterton 442C™ Cartridge Split Seal combines superior seal performance with the ease of installation of a cartridge seal. Our patented split seal technology addresses the inherent limitations found in conventional cartridge split seal designs by

If you hear noises at the wheels, one explanation might be a need for a wheel bearing replacement at one or more wheels. The noises might be described as rattling, clicking, humming, growling, or squealing. It can be a real symphony of sound if you’re not careful.

​A split seal has components split into two equal halves which are secured as one unit on the seal shaft. The major advantage of the split seal design is that it allows you to install the seal with no dismantling of the pump (or equipment)—an enormous time-saver! Chesterton's split seals offer virtually leak-free performance. This leads to improved safety and environmental compliance and nearly eliminates sleeve wear, and flush water usage,  among many benefits.

Chesterton was the first company to offer commercially-viable split seals for plant-wide use, which revolutionized pump sealing across industries. Since that time, we've launched a number of innovative split seal designs now used as a standard by companies around the globe.​ We offer shaft diameters ranging from 25-914​ mm (1-36 in.)​

The 442C design also offers maximum installation flexibility with its short axial length and flexible gland positioning. It simplifies split mechanical seal repair by using a standard spare parts kit, enabling you to lower your inventory costs to maintain operations.

The short answer is: Not for too long. Having bad wheel bearings can range from inconvenient and unpleasant to downright dangerous.

Recalls may not affect every vehicle of the same year, make and model. Use your VIN or plate to find out if your specific car has open recalls.

The 442C™ Cartridge Split Seal can be installed without checking for face alignment or touching the sealing elements—the seal faces align themselves and do not have to be handled or worked. The gland assembly is installed around the rotary without inspecting face alignment. Quicker installations and enhanced reliability are the results!

The Interlocking Face eliminates this problem by uniquely keying the mating halves so that faces align correctly without having to manually work the face halves. Damage associated with handling and additional cleaning requirements are eliminated, which results in greater sealing reliability.

Chesterton is the world leader in design innovation of split seals. Our innovative split seals have been used to seal thousands of process-critical pieces of rotating equipment with exceptional​​ ​results and many years of leak-free operations.

In theory, wheel bearings could last as long as your Chevrolet. Unlike oil changes or tire rotations, there’s no standard maintenance schedule for replacing them. However, wheel bearings can be damaged if you hit a pothole, smack into a curb or bounce over a speed bump too fast.

More than just noisy or bothersome, bad wheel bearings could also lead to real performance issues like inconsistent braking, spongy steering and handling, uneven tire wear and, in extreme cases, the wheels could fall off. No matter how much (or how little) you know about cars, you don’t want the wheels falling off, right?

Because the seal faces are split, the halves need to align correctly to seal. This has been one of the key problems associated with the installation of

For a national average across all vehicles, the average cost to replace the wheel bearings (for 1 wheel) is about $350 (including parts and labor). But KBB.com goes deeper than that. Based on analyzing 100s of actual repair orders, we put together the Kelley Blue Book Fair Repair Range to show you what you should expect to pay for this repair for your Chevrolet. Simply tell us the year, model and style of your Chevrolet and we’ll show you a fair price for the repair.

The 442C uses a mechanism which automatically energizes the seal faces when the gland assembly is installed. During installation, the springs are not energized, minimizing potential installation damage which can occur. Split seal reliability is enhanced!

If you have bad wheel bearings, you might experience the vehicle pulling to one side, sloppy or loose steering, grinding and rattling noises, and uneven tire wear.

If water, grit, salt or sand get to the bearings, the grease in the hub assembly gets contaminated. This will wear down the bearings, and they will eventually give out.
